This webcomic contains examples of:

A-M

• Abdicate the Throne: In "Disney Princesses in a Nutshell", a king has to decide between two women to be his queen: Emily, a cute and clumsy peasant girl who's his true love but unfit to be queen; or Lady Ursula, who's power hungry but is an Only Sane Man. He chooses to give up the crown to marry Emily and let his masochistic NEET brother reign as king, with Ursula as Queen.
• Age-Gap Romance: The nephew's twin nieces very much look forward to marrying him, even though he's ten years older than them.
  Niece 1: Hey, you know what's cooler than incest?
  Niece 2: POLYGAMY!
  Niece 1: You should be thankful for the Double Niece-Wife combo pack you're gonna get!
  Niece 2: The 10 year difference won't be weird when you're 30 and we're 20!
• All Women Are Lustful: A lot of comedy comes from female characters (mostly elves) being desperate for sex with men, who are either indifferent or weirded out by their earnestness. The main exception is Alice the Necromancer who has to deal with the lust of her skeletons, the Lich Emperor, and at various points a female vampire and dullahan—who are just as perverted as the skeletons. It's worth noting that while it's not always the joke, there are plenty of times when boys being the thirsty weirdos is equally comedic.
• Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Many jokes are set up with the expectation that a Hentai situation is about to unfold, then doesn't, to the disappointment of the woman who was anticipating it.
  • Elves, despite being an Inhumanly Beautiful Race, cannot get laid no matter how hard they try. Some elf characters set up situations where they expect to be ravished by swarthy orcs. The orcs are usually turned-off by the elves' desperation.
  • A human Paladin named Virginia Kissless is a recurring protagonist. She is on a Quest for Sex, and sometimes hopes that losing to aggressive monsters will mean finally losing her virginity to them. She is always disappointed, and she turns out to be under a Hereditary Curse where 500 years ago an incel ancestor made a deal with a devil to lose his virginity at the cost of one of his descendants becoming an incel.
    Virginia: [writing] Day 2: After capture by the goblins, any hope for a quick loss of virginity has now faded. The goblins show no interest in my chaste knight body. I must stay strong.
    Virginia: [writing in a shaky hand] Day 23: My living conditions continue to improve. Still no sex. Yesterday I tried to bait the guards by yelling "Do your worst! I will never lose to the dick!" but they only looked at me with amusement and pity. Don't know how much more I can take.
  • An orc has The Vamp tied up and at his mercy. The comic ends with a Wedding Finale.
    Orc: ...An evil whore like you deserves one thing, and I'm going to give it to you!... That's right... you deserve to be cherished by a man who loves and respects you, for the rest of your life!!
    Oboro: What??
    Orc: Marry me, Oboro!! [presents an engagement ring]
    Oboro: Ah... are you crazy!?
    Orc: I promise to make you happy!
  • A modern-day school comic has a virginal Bespectacled Cutie openly relish the prospect of becoming a Netorare heroine stolen from MC-kun by the local “POPULAR SCHOOL CHAD”, who will seduce her and break her mind with his “HUGE CHAD COCK”. Except the Chad in question is busy talking with his actual girlfriend and doesn’t even seem to notice the other girl.
• Baby Don't Got Back: In this strip, Aerith laments that ""the Ass Coomers won't even look at me anymore" when it's shown her game model has a flat ass compared to Tifa. The only other weirdos still creeping around her, however, are the impalement and snuff fetishists, with Sephiroth drawn as a Coomer.
• Bait-and-Switch:
  • One comic features a demon king named Vzzrth who reveals to one of his returning ministers that he successfully impregnated a very high-level all-female adventuring party who stormed their castle. The minister expresses amazement that his boss managed to win, which confuses him:
    Vzzrth: Win?
    Legendary Hero of Light: Back to the bedchamber, fucktoy. It's time for your hourly milking.
  • There's a comic where a stereotypical hentai-style "fat ugly bastard" buys a female elf advertised as being "good with her hands and mouth" and having a "fat butt" from a slave trader. Instead of making her a Sex Slave, however, he forces her to work in his company's tech support department.
• Big "NO!": The Vanilla Fan in "Vanilla vs. NTR" lets one out when reading a hentai manga and seeing the cute childhood friend interacting with a male Gyaru (a stereotypical antagonist in Netorare stories), thus realizing he is reading an NTR doujin and is about to watch the childhood friend be "stolen" from the MC.
• Big Prick, Big Problems: In one comic, Childhood friend-chan explains that the only reason she slept with NTR-senpai was in order to stretch herself out so she can eventually handle MC-kun's inhumanly large penis.
• Big, Screwed-Up Family: The women of a certain nephew's extended family are eventually revealed to be this. While at first it's just his aunt giving not-so-subtle messages indicating she would like him to rail her, his estranged gyaru half-sister also throws down the gauntlet, before they're joined by her mom and his twin nieces. The nephew is less than amused.
  Nephew: Please, Santa. The only thing I want for Christmas is a different extended family.
• Bizarro Universe: The punchline to a Chainsaw Man comic, where Denji is an ass man instead of obsessed about boobs, Makima is skittish and emotional, Power's breasts are real, and Aki actually likes Denji's wacky antics. Also, Earth is a cube.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: Parodied in this strip where a WB-Games executive explains that the changes to Mileena's wardrobe were done because "ULTRA VIOLENCE GORE =GOOD; EXPOSED FEMALE BODY BAD!!"
• Born Lucky: "Max Luck Builds" has a character put every point in luck with Dexterity being his Dump Stat, allowing him to "accidentally" trip and cop a feel on a cleric's breasts. This luck allows him to trip and kill the Demon Lord in his one secret weakness.
• Break Them by Talking: There exist tattoos in this version of the Taimanin-verse that enhance emotional sensitivity instead of sexual sensitivity. The idea is that it makes the target ridiculously easy to break mentally as you can crush their will with a few mean words, but can backfire as the target's emotional hypersensitivity can allow them to detect deep-rooted emotional trauma, meaning they can inadvertently cause their attacker to have an emotional breakdown as they reveal their most traumatic memories to an empathetic ear.
• Briar Patching: In one comic, a knight keeps a voodoo priestess from killing him with a voodoo doll by convincing her that, as a paladin, using the doll to make him break his vow of celibacy would be a Fate Worse than Death. The next panel has an actual paladin mad that he pulled it off.
  Paladin: "Vow of celibacy?" You're not even a Paladin! You just wear a bucket helm! She believed that crap?
  Knight: Yeah. It was great.
• Can't Have Sex, Ever: Virginia Kissless' perpetual virginity is because her ancestor made a Deal with the Devil to lose his virginity which came at the cost of a Hereditary Curse preventing Virginia from ever having sex.
• Chainmail Bikini: In this tweet, a Guardsman suggests a Sororitas to wear a Power Armor bikini for the sake of morale, with a Commissar behind him to remind him how morale can be "improved."^note Canonically, a rank of disgraced Sororitas, known as the Sister Repentia, are practically nude compared to the comic's bikini armor, since they cannot wear armor as part of their penitence.
• Chivalrous Pervert: Coomer may be obsessed with cooming, but he still refuses to masturbate to a character he thinks is an underage girl.
• Clickbait Gag: "We JUST FOUND the One Piece!? (Shocking)" has Usopp framing the thumbnail of his video with an attention grabbing headline and the attention grabbing boobs of Nico Robin. Rorona Zoro calls him out by asking if he keeps lying in his thumbnail titles, won't they catch on and stop watching? Usopp says they'll still click because of this trope.
  Usopp: Doesn't matter. They'll still click it. They're slaves to the algorithm.
  Chopper: You found the One Piece?! WHAAAAAAAAAT?!
• Cross Counter: In this strip, Nero gets his deadbeat father Vergil a worthy Father's Day present: a punch in the face.
  (both of them punch each other in the face)
  Both: FUCK YOU!!
• Deliberate Values Dissonance: Spoofed in this (fandubbed) strip where an executive at WB-Games explains that the changes to Mileena's wardrobe is due to changing societal attitudes, but reminds the (American) audience that "ULTRA VIOLENCE GORE =GOOD; EXPOSED FEMALE BODY BAD!!" However, if Mileena was designed by Japanese designer she would look like an anime-style underage girl, and while WB Executive-sama squees that she looks "kawaii", Scorpion-san reassures the audience that she's "actually 1000 years old."
• Elvish Presley: This strip has Elfvis, a female Elvis Impersonator who was unprepared for how horny her fans would be for her and faked her death 200 years ago.
• Everyone Has Standards:
  • The Coomers might be so horny they each have one arm as thick as a tree trunk, but they still refuse to masturbate to underage girls.
  • The elves in the elf nanny training may be willing to be added to the harem when their charge grows up, but they still find the idea of a reincarnated 40-year-old Japanese salaryman sucking at their nipple to be creepy. The succubus that snuck in however finds it hot.
• Extreme Omnisexual: Richard Dickens, AKA the Goblin Fucker (a D&D parody of Goblin Slayer). He'll sleep with any woman, no matter the race, difference in height or even anatomy.
  Goblin Fucker: Which would you rather fuck: a dragon or a dragon's weight in goblins? [...] In hindsight, the correct answer was probably "neither". Definitely not "both".
  • His harem is so big there's no room left in his house for him to sleep in.
    Goblin Fucker: I was literally "sleeping in the dog house" for a while, but then a Lycan girl kicked me out.
  • It's implied that he might be the only man horny enough to overcome Virginia's incel curse, should the two ever meet.
• Faking the Dead: Elfvis faked her death to get away from horny elves and an elven Tupoc expy faked his death because of a rivalry with BigGob Smalls. Elfvis asked if BigGob faked his death too, but elf!Tupoc says he died of old age... at 27.
• First-Name Basis: Downplayed. While he usually addresses her with impeccable formality, Alice's skeleton butler occasionally calls her by her first name. Being her First Friend, he can get away with it. Compared to the rest of Alice's skeletons, he's probably the only one who can get away with it.
• Fix Fic: Parodied with "Extremely Optimistic Cyberpunk Setting", which is drawn in an overly simplistic fashion and written through the lens of someone trying to cope with the ending of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners by changing the setting into "Day City", where everyone lives rewarding lives thanks to Capitalism. David hangs out with his still-living friends who don't do anything illegal and is given a stable and high-paying job by Smasher for a corporation (which is specifically not a monopoly) in order to better the lives of everyone.
• Freudian Excuse: An Orc tries to have a magical sex tattoo put on his captured Taimanin to make her hypersensitive to sexual stimulation, but is convinced by the tattoo artist to put one that enhances emotional sensitivity instead because it will make her easy to Break Them by Talking just by saying a few mean words. Unfortunately, her emotional hypersensitivity allows her to discern that he's hiding a lot of emotional pain and asks him about it. He breaks down as he reveals he turned to a life of crime due to the emotional abuse his mother heaped on him, who compared him unfavorably to his dead brother and told him You Should Have Died Instead.
• Gameplay and Story Segregation: A centaur claims that under the rules of D&D's Theros setting, she's a Medium creature and therefore can use a horse as a mount.
• Gender Flip: "What If Elden Ring Patches Is A Cute Girl" does this to the lovable rogue. The Tarnished can't stand Patches since he's always kicking him off cliffs. Ranni puts forward the idea that maybe if Patches was a cute girl, he'd be more forgiving of her. The next panel shows the concept of Female Patches, not only with hair but with a Cleavage Window.
• Harsh Word Impact: After isekai'd MC Hero Yuuki meets his isekai'd Childhood Friend Minako, who still harbors a crush on him even after reincarnating and becoming Demon Lord, he invites her to his wedding with his companion Clara. When he calls Minako his best friend, a nuke big enough to be seen from orbit goes off. Either that or she actually nuked Yuuki.
• He Knows Too Much: This strip has a lalafell and goblin brutally murder an elezen after he accidentally discovers goblins are related to lalafells. The goblin takes off their mask to reveal a lalafellin face.
  "No one can know the secret."
• Hero's Slave Harem: The trope is mocked in this comic, where a typical Isekai protagonist declares his hatred for slavery, but fears female rejection, so he goes to a slave-trader because he's a "nice guy" so that makes it okay. The slave trader offers him a beautiful high elf princess with powerful magic, but she's out of his price range, so the trader instead offers him a deal on four female goblins with obvious personality flaws.
• High School AU: In this strip, it reimagines Baldur's Gate III as a high school dating sim with Karlach as a volleyball player, Shadowheart as the Goth, and Lae'zel as a preppy.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: Alice became a necromancer at a young age to have friends, since her village didn't have any children to play with, even going as far as refusing to use control magic so her resurrected skeletons retain their free will. She later comes to regret her decision as an adult, with her skeletons throwing a tantrum in the background.
• Kavorka Man: One comic features an "Omega" female elf named Syllys the Fool. While she should be unattractive to men, she actually gets laid fairly often because she's a lot less weird and off-putting about her sexual desires than your typical female elf.
• Love Redeems: This episode has Oboro of "Taimanin Asagi" strapped to a table by an orc. He threatens to "give it to her..." In this case, a man who loves and respects her for the rest of her life, and pulls out a wedding ring. 2 seasons - 24 episodes, 1 movie and 3 OVAs later, Oboro and the orc are married. Sakura is the only one cheering the newlywed couple, while Asagi is pissed.
• Made a Slave: "Company of Humans Enslaves Elf" has an elf girl reduced to slavery, but instead of being a sex slave, she's forced into tech support.
• Marry the Nanny: Alluded to in this fandubbed comic, in which a matron elf woman tells the students of her class of future elf nannies for isekai protagonists that they can go on to lead a comfortable life, if their ward decides to adds them to his harem.
• Meaningful Name: The female paladin whose every attempt to sleep, have sex with, or even get raped by a man has ended in failure, is named Virginia Kissless.
• Motherly Side Plait: In this strip, a rare Adepta Sororitas is shown being called a "Mommy of Battle." She's surprised she's still considered young enough to be called a "Sister" of Battle.^note In canon terms, she would be considered a Canoness.
  Mommy: Do I still look that age? Ara Ara! Ufufu!
  Ork: Da only 'ffrence between Sistas an' Milfs 'n aneemay iz "dat" hairstyle!
• My Eyes Are Up Here: Alice the Necromancer's skeleton servants are horny manchildren who take any excuse to leer at her large breasts. The only one immune to them is her butler, who was the first skeleton she raised when she was a little girl.
• My Significance Sense Is Tingling: The Goblin Fucker is so insanely, unstoppably horny that he can automatically sense if there's a woman he hasn't slept with.
• My Species Doth Protest Too Much: One comic has a male elf explaining that there are plenty of other elven men out there, they just get frequently mistaken for women due to their androgynous features, long hair and unisex clothing, much like how dwarven women tend to get mistaken for men due to their burly builds and facial hair. In walks Boris, a comically macho and very masculine-looking elf with Perma-Stubble and no shirt who nobody could mistake for a woman and who's said to be the exception that proves the rule.

N-Z

• No True Scotsman: The dwarves fear and revile Ragmar Axeborne, who does such things as shave his beard and date an elf. When he says that holding on to grudges is silly, the Dwarf King furiously writes him down in the Great Book of Grudges.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: In addition to Elfvis, the comic also has an elven stand-in for Tupac Shakur and a Biggie Smalls parody named BigGob Smalls.
• N-Word Privileges: "Korone Don't Say It" has Korone Inugami singing N.W.A's "Fuck the Police." Pikamee is reacting in horror to Korone uttering the "gamer word" in the background.
• Oh, Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us!: "Elden Ring: Ranni and the Internet" has the witch believing that only the most hardcore gamers will complete her questline. She makes the mistake of googling her name online and discovering to her horror how perverted the fanbase is for her.
• Once a Season: In this strip covering the 2023 Game Awards, BB mentions how all he has to do every year is update the year and who the winner of Game of the Year is. The usual highlight includes waiting for release date announcements of Hollow Knight: Silksong and a PC port of Bloodborne. A tank of medical grade copium is seen leaking out, showing how delusional these fans are.
• Our Elves Are Different:
  • They are pretty standard for fantasy, though with the joke that female elves are incredibly desperate for sex. An elf wizard goes through all the types of elves - including Space Elves - all of whom are still incredibly thirsty, so the protagonist opts to go for an all dwarf party.
  • A few elves manage to break the trope in-universe, with Boris the Manly Elf, and the handful of elves - such as Ragmar's elf girlfriend - who manage to get dates by virtue of acting like themselves instead of being desperately thirsty.
• Our Dwarves Are All the Same:
  • Subverted with Ragmar Axeborne, a dwarf who shaved his beard and doesn't see anything wrong with it. Other dwarves (who do fit the mold) are terrified of him.
  • Another has no truck with the usual Elves vs. Dwarves conflict, since it means more elven women to flirt with.
  • A dwarf was banished from his clan for loving an orc warrioress. However, they regret banishing their only capable brewmaster and are left with subpar alcohol, but the king of the dwarves refuses to apologize because of dwarven pride. Meanwhile, the exiled brewmaster makes his own vineyard with his orc girlfriend and her warband of battle sisters.
• Overly Long Name: In the dwarven vineyard strip, the long Isekai title is parodied with "I Was Banished from Dwarf Society for Marrying an Orc Girl, So I Recruited Her Warband Sisters and Built a Legendary Vineyard Harem, and Now My Brandy is So Good The Dwarf King is Pleading for Me to Come Back, but It's Too Late, I'm Already Living My Best Life!!"
• Overused Copycat Character: In this strip, the first panel shows the similarities between Hasumi of Blue Archive and Taihou of Azur Lane are that they both have long black hair, red eyes, large breasts, and are from gacha games. The second panel has an artist under pressure from his boss to make more "gacha waifus."
  Meanwhile... in the Asian Gacha Mines
  Artist: But sir, there's only so many variations of animay (sic) girls! The character designs are going to overlap!
  Boss: I said draw more waifus! If the weebs don't gamble, we go bankrupt!
• Paper-Thin Disguise:
  • "Goblin NTR" has the Paladin and his goblin girlfriend join the meeting, and all he does is wear the most blatant mask possible. In the girlfriend's defense, the men are stupid.
  • A D&D parody of Mulan has an orc princess repeatedly claim she is male while terrified of being found out. Her comrades all know (and don't seem to care) she's a girl, but since she's the one doing all the work they don't say anything, especially since they're convinced if she does leave they'll get overwhelmed and slaughtered.
• Parental Incest: Morrigan Aensland is hoping to do this together with Nero, who is her and Vergil's son, while also getting Dante, Vergil and Lilith involved as well in a full-family-fivesome. Nero reacts accordingly.
• Power Perversion Potential: In this strip, the Lich Emperor gathers his army like he's about to launch an invasion of the world of the living. He opens a portal… to Alice's bathroom, where she's taking a bath.
• Pregnancy Scare: The flirty aunt scares the bejesus out of her nephew by saying she's cut back on the drinking because "alcohol is bad for the baby." In front of his mother, even.
  Aunt: Haha! Just kidding! I'm not pregnant! ...Yet.
• "Ray of Hope" Ending: A comedic example. The story of Virginia Kissless' origin has Femephistopheles explain to her ancestor who tries to stop the Hereditary Curse being passed on to her that it's literally impossible to cheat the curse and Virginia will forever be unable to get laid or even kiss a man. However, she says that there is one exception: the power of "true lust" can overcome the celibacy curse and take her virginity. The arc ends with Richard Dickens sensing that there's only one woman in the world he hasn't had sex with and setting out to find her.
• Really 700 Years Old: One elf girl opts to take advantage of this - since humans can't sense mana and thus can't tell how old she is - to be a high school student...only to realize when she gets there she was not the first elf to have that idea.
  • Played for Laughs in the case of "loli-chan". She brags about being this trope only to get arrested for owing 10 million dollars in back taxes going back to the 1870s.
• The Right Hand of Doom: The Coomers, being chronic masturbators, inevitably have a massively overdeveloped arm.
• Schizo Tech: From comic to comic, the game can appear as a more standard fantasy setting or have modern tech and features such as tech support and Japanese anime.
• Shell-Shocked Veteran: After a paladin tries to kill the Voice of the Unholy Abomination, with his sword breaking after failing to deal any kind of damage, he decides to throw in the towel and retire from crusading, feeling that the world is a cruel joke. The Voice takes his words as a wish and grants it on the spot, giving the paladin a farm and an elf woman to marry and start a family with. Years later, the paladin gets triggered when his half-elf son asks him for stories about his crusader days.
  Paladin: It was a dark time, son. You don't want to know.
  Elf wife: Henry! Don't trigger your father's PTSD!
• Soul-Crushing Desk Job: The elf slave in "Company of Humans Enslaves Elf" is bought and forced into working tech support, in which she has to read a 300-page manual on her first day and is seen talking with a customer who apparently thinks computer mice are edible. She gets better at it in the short sequel comic, at least.
• Square Race, Round Class: A DnD Party Of Freaks has an adventuring party composed of Boris the Manly Elf, Magical Ork Girl Waaaghdoka, Dixa the goblin cleric of Law and Honesty, Ragmar the Clean-Shaven Dwarf, and a gangly creature referred to as "the Big Halfling". Even the lich emperor is weirded out by them.
• Suicide as Comedy: "Vanilla vs. NTR" has a fat neckbeard Vanilla hentai fan hang himself upon realizing he is reading a Netorare doujin.
• Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: "Weeb Neckbeard Sees Normal Japanese Nuclear Family" has the viewer raging over the anime he's watching having the hero, who's inherited the blood of demon ancestors... studying to improve his grades and get into a decent college since slaying Dark Angels isn't a good job.
• Too Kinky to Torture: In this strip, Cloud is at the mercy of Scarlet, who threatens to gently, but firmly, step on his penis in front of the party. While Aerith and Tifa watch in horror as Scarlet presses her foot down, Cloud is having the time of his life. Barret is offering to go next.
  Barret: Damn you, woman!! Let him go!! Take me instead!!
• Totem Pole Trench: In this strip, a pair of male goblins in a trenchcoat try to hook up with female halflings in a trenchcoat, with both saying they're an orc and human respectively. Two more "people" come around; a pair of male kobolds pretending to be a dragonborn and a pair of female gnomes pretending to be an elf.
• Translation Convention: In Now You're Speaking My Language, Paul Phoenix lampshades how even though everyone in Tekken speaks different languages, with Asuka and Heihachi speaking Japanese and Lili speaking French in the example, Paul carries the conversation in English. It gets even more ridiculous when Kuma, a literal bear who can only roar, joins the conversation.
• Tsundere: Elden Ring: Mini Ranni Tsundere Gaming has Ranni, in doll form, giving harsh but fair advice to the lunkhead Tarnished, who's invested his points into a STR build and should invest them in INT so she can teach him spells. She also tells him not to stare at Malenia since she's rotten, which the Tarnished takes for jealousy. Malenia asks if they're gonna fight or what.
• The Unpronounceable: This comic features a demon king named "Vzzrth".
• We Are as Mayflies: A goblin rival to an elven Tupac expy, BigGob Smalls, died of old age. At 27.
